It's a pretty long article with lots of pics, you might have to sign up to view but it's worth it:

The regular R8 is a great car (FWIH, I've never been within) 10 feet of one ), but it's slow compared to it's competitors. The porsche 911 turbo, nissan GTR, corvette z06, even the base aston martin are all faster. Considering that you can't find one for under $150 IF you can find one, not a very good value.

What a great magazine. It's as good as Car and Driver or Road and Track and for free!

I see no TDI articles in their back issues, someone should write them!

The regular R8 is sold out for 2 years, why bring a new model? It's in such demand that unless you want to pay $30,000 over sticker, you have to wait.
